An Airport Electrical Maintenance Technician is responsible for performing a variety of semiskilled and skilled tasks in the maintenance of the airfield and adjacent City-owned buildings. The incumbent has primary responsibilities for working with high-voltage electrical systems (up to 5,000 volts) with no margin of error. Works with high voltage lines and changes out transformers for runway, taxiway, and threshold lighting. Maintains specialized airport lighting (PAPI, REIL, etc.) and beacon navigational aids, and changes out electrical relays, points, and circuit boards; and utilizes test equipment and checks to see that navigational aids are in proper angle. Replaces burned wiring, circuit breakers, switches, fuses, and brushes. Rebuilds and replaces damaged and outdated light fixtures for taxiway/runway and threshold. Performs electrical safety inspections in hangars and repairs and replaces receptacles and light switches, and tests voltage and amps to comply with appropriate codes. Assists, as needed, in airport improvement projects and ensures contractors are in compliance with safety requirements for an airport. Uses appropriate safety equipment and follows safety procedures, including unique requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Assists with other airport maintenance duties such as mowing airfield grass, performing runway inspections, picking up trash and foreign object debris (FOD), issuing Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM), and conducting perimeter safety fence inspections. An employee of this class is required to respond to air-related emergency situations and weather emergencies on a 24-hour a day/7 days per week basis. This position assumes all duties of supervisor in his/her absence and performs related duties as required.
